HALIFAX, Sept. 6, 2016 /CNW/ - For the third consecutive year, Eastlink has won PCMag's Fastest Mobile Network Award in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Through its industry-recognized study of Canada's Fastest Mobile networks, released this past week, PCMag.com praised Eastlink for "excelling at reliability in Nova Scotia and PEI".

"We are thrilled to be recognized for the speed and quality of our network," says Lee Bragg, Eastlink CEO. "This award reflects Eastlink's commitment to providing customers with the best possible experience, which includes lightning-fast, reliable data speeds on their mobile devices."

PCMag.com travelled from coast to coast to rigorously test Canada's wireless networks, awarding the carrier with the highest score and best overall experience. Eastlink defeated each of the National carriers in Nova Scotia and PEI, retaining its title as the #1 ranked mobile network.

"Customers rely on their service provider to keep them connected", says Matthew MacLellan, Eastlink Wireless President. "More and more customers are trusting Eastlink with their wireless service due to our focus on delivering a quality network, combined with lower prices and exceptional customer service."

Eastlink has recently expanded its best-in-class network to Northern Ontario and the Greater Moncton area in New Brunswick, where customers can now experience the same award-winning network reliability.
